The Soltn Berghalbmarathon is a very hilly trail half marathon race in South Tyrol, Italy's northernmost province where most people speak German as a first language.

The start and finish are in the village of Jenesien (Italian: San Genesio), situated at an elevation of 1200 metres on the beautiful Salten Plateau which rises above the city of Bozen (Bolzano).

The route is very scenic and challenging. Overall, it includes 520 metres of ascent (and the same of descent). The highest point on the course is at about 1500 metres.

Most of the race is run on trails through lovely woods and mountain pastures. The first two kilometres are on asphalt roads.

Over 300 runners took part in last year's Berghalbmarathon. The fastest finishers were Gabriele Abate (1:13:59) and Renate Rungger (1:29:49).

The time limit to complete the race is 2 hours 50 minutes.
